This shop stocks the stuff you can't get in supermarkets - for example, some really nicely backed farmhouse biscuits, cakes, chocolate, high quality ice-cream etc. I would highly recommend their wide selection of Wilkens and Sons jams - they stock up stuff like quince, green goosebury, raspberry and cointreau, mulberry etc. Also, they stock a wide selection of veg and fruit outside that varies daily.

I love this place - these guys know their position in the local community. They are not taking on the ubermarkets, but they are sitting comfortably, offering a bespoke service and carefully picked classy end goods to their local following. This is not 'comfortably' to the point of arrogance, however: the staff always seem to strive to serve with humour and empathy. Last week I witnessed one of the owners offering a potential dinner party host some menu planning advice, even down to the level of friskiness of the suggested Gigondas - all done in the best possible taste, but with a sumptuous hint of cheek. I bought the wine myself and the sparkly eyed owner was right, but that is a different story.
